Blog PostNew Hive

Purchased a new hive today from a long-time beekeeper who is no longer able to take care of her bees. The hive was a Double Deep and full of bees and also purchased several Honey Supers and other supplies from her. We arrived at the beekeepers yard late evening and closed the hive with an entrance reducer, then proceeded to load the hive onto our truck abd secured it for transport to our bee yard.  Upon arriving at our bee yard, we proceeded to unload the hive and place it on the center of our stand. I removed the entrance reducer and monitored the hive from a distance for a few minutes before leaving.
